It’s cold this morning
And I didn’t want to get up
Dorothy didn’t either and cuddled up under the duvet, licking her lips
We listened to the wind for a while
Daring each other to move
I’m only doing a half shift at work so will finish at 1.30
I will be strict with everyone and will leave on time.
I have more study work to do for Monday
This time an academic poster
I’m counting down the minutes I have to leave at 6.45 in order to get to work on time
Eggs on toast with coffee
My daily antibiotic has made me nauseous this morning
Feels like winter
It's a chilly morning. I'm just relieved it's finally stopped raining. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt’s rained most days here and is damp as a tarts knickers
DeleteKeep warm, and yes, make sure you leave work on time. Your time is so precious, especially at the moment, and you need down-time, too. Winter draws on! xx
ReplyDeleteI am pretty good at setting boundaries
DeleteI hope today goes well for you. The mornings are getting much colder!
ReplyDeleteAnd sadder
DeleteGrit your teeth John - A big push - and all will be well x 🚙 🌻
ReplyDeleteA big push? He's not giving birth!!!
DeleteI will push on flis thank u
DeleteAnon , be quiet
DeleteIt feels like time to hibernate.
ReplyDeleteAffable despot jason disappears in winter, he says he hibernates until may
DeleteIt is difficult to get up when you are snuggled up and its still dark. Four weeks to Solstice...!
ReplyDeleteThe lane public light is broken and has been for months, so the dark is VERY dark outside
DeleteHope all goes to plan. SG says it feels like winter here, too. 16 degrees!
ReplyDeleteBugger.16 degrees that’s a Welsh summer
DeleteSounds a bit like me. I start getting ready to leave the house, at the exact moment I should be somewhere else. It takes a real effort to be on time for appointments. I have no sense of urgency.
ReplyDeleteI get that…..I understand that lol
DeleteQuite cold down here too (8 C this morning). I've found my gloves in readiness.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never been able to keep a pair of gloves, except an incredibly expensive leather pair a friend gave me and who I have never worn
DeleteYou need a string on them, through your coat sleeves. Remember that when you were a child? I'm thinking of doing it again, now I'm into my second childhood! xx
DeleteI’d lose the string
DeleteMy house is on a north-facing hill, so catching it at the moment. Tonight is set to be even colder!
ReplyDeleteOuch, I’m south facing
DeleteIt's a glorious day here, wall to wall sunshine and blue skies but as cold as a witch's ***!
ReplyDelete3c when we went out at 8-30, but has risen to 5c now! X
Tit
DeleteI'm making soup ..... it's blowing a gale here and it's cold. All of the beautiful autumn leaves are nearly gone from the trees and we won't see leaves until Spring. Time to hunker down with the soup ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI love making soup ..love it, what kind?
DeleteNothing fancy ..... had the chicken carcass left from roast chicken so, celery, onion, carrots, chicken carcass and chicken stock. My niece { who is a trained chef ] once told me never to bring it to a boil but always bring it to a simmer very slowly on a low heat. Then I simmer for a good few hours ..... one of my favourite soups and, the collagen from the bones is so good for you. I always feel like I could run a marathon after a bowl ! { I couldn't ,but I feel very healthy ! } XXXX
DeleteJewish penicillin soup xx
DeleteHave a good and productive day, John. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThank you debra deArheart
DeleteBe bold, be strong, and enjoy the half shift. It is getting colder here this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWinter is comming
DeleteThe early morning Winter cold has no appeal especially when cozy inside and under the duvet. Antibiotic bringing an upset stomach does not sound great and I hope it passes quickly. Half day of work should pass quickly.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been on antibiotics for four years now
DeleteHave you tried some probiotics to help with antibiotics, live yoghurt kefir sauerkraut and there are tablets and powders too. Helps repopulate gut flora.
ReplyDeleteNo but I do eat kimchi , which is an acquired taste I can tell you
DeleteI'm thinking by now your shift is done and you are relieved to be heading home. Good luck with your homework and hope you have time to relax and rest too!
ReplyDeleteI fell asleep on the couch. It was a busy morning. I was the only nurse that knew the unit and I was working with two other staff from our sister hospice and a student nurse who had a lot of common sense
DeleteWe did ok but I was too tired to study .
I will be off to bed shortly and have banked up the fire
I felt the same this morning but instead of Dorothy I had my cat Jack who would have been content to stay in bed for the day, I think. And I don't even have to go to work or school! Just old and tired. And it's gloomy out.
ReplyDeleteI am old and tired too deArheart xx
DeleteIt was -3 c this morning at 7:00 when I went out to do my groceries, also a few flakes of snow. Yuk, I am ready for winter but not looking forward to it. It has been a mild fall and the leaves are still falling so I have to wait until they are down so my lawn guy can rake them up. They all come from my neighbours trees but I get to pay to get rid of them. I wish I could sleep in but I am just not wired that way. Have a nice day John. Gigi in Toronto
ReplyDeleteYou too Gigi., written now later on in the day
DeleteI bought a jumper today from the supermarket
It was .5*C here this morning and I certainly know what you mean about it being difficult to leave a warm bed when it's really cold outside.
ReplyDeleteHope taking your antibiotic with food helps so the pill hass the food to land on.
Wishing you a good day and imagine you're already away form work as I write. Also wish you inspiration for that poster.
Hugs!
I’m. Planning the poster tomorrow and writing up my essay on Monday morning
DeleteOlga has also been very snuggly in this chilly, damp weather!
ReplyDeleteDoes she share your bed steve
DeleteWhen I took the garbage dumpster out to the street this morning just as daylight was appearing, the sky stunned me. It was full of what looked like storm clouds moving very fast. But a great sky. Now, several hours later, it's sunny outside though chilly.
ReplyDeleteI love moments like these. Little snippets of beauty amid the every day
DeleteWell ' it's an illl wind that blows nobody any good ' to quote the immortal words of 'Marrie Puppins' and thus it is very windy in the West Country today and great for blowing the washing dry on the outside line. Two lots done and dry, result l say Tess
ReplyDeleteI love good drying weather
DeleteThe duvet covers and blankets waving merrily on the field gate
Mary can hold her water 14 hours if required overnight , I wish Dorothy could….he’ll I wish I could
ReplyDeleteYou are quite impressive how you study, work and care for others. I look to you as a role model.
ReplyDeleteLol I’m touched , but I’m a fat old man who nurses x
DeleteAnd Who writes well and is kind of cute in a preppy, bear old gay type of way.
DeleteKeith
Xx
Shucks
DeleteIt is so nice now that I am retired. I can spend all day in bed if I want, although I never do. What I really want is big snowstorm now that I don't have to drive to work. I've always loved the snow but had a job where I really had to go in unless the state declared a snow emergency and I legally had to stay off the road. Anyway...I love the beautiful silent snow.
ReplyDeleteI am envious; I miss winter especially with the approach of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOoh a poster! It sounds like something primary school children do!
